Profile:
A member of the famous Hearne family, brother of Test players Alec and
Frank, cousin of Test player JT and first-class cricketers GF, Herbert and
Walter, uncle to Test player GAC, and son of George Hearn of Middlesex. "GG"
played just one Test, when he toured South Africa with WW Read's side in
1891-92. (His brother Alec and cousin JT were in the same side, and his
brother Frank in the opposition!) The eldest of the Kentish Hearne brothers,
he debuted for Kent in 1875, on the ground where his father was groundsman,
and played for them for another 21 years. A left-hand round arm bowler, he
bowled fast-medium with a natural break from leg to off, resulting in many
dismissals in the slips. Initially not much of a bat, Hearne improved
through his career, using a very correct, largely defensive method. He
generally fielded at point or mid-wicket. A hard-working cricketer, he
became a genuine all-rounder, in 1886 making nearly 1000 runs at an average
of over 40 (DL 2000).
